Despite new disagreements over Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz, the parties agreed on a roadmap for continued negotiations over the next 60 days.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Swiss town of B\u00fcrgenstock, senior officials from the United States and Iran met for the first round of negotiations since the interim agreement was signed earlier this week, reports <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/liveblog\/2026\/6\/22\/iran-war-live-first-day-of-us-talks-covers-lebanon-hormuz-frozen-assets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Jazeera<\/a><\/strong>. The talks were led by the U.S. Vice President <strong>JD Vance<\/strong> and the Iranian delegation, with Qatar and Pakistan acting as mediators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The negotiations took place while the situation remained tense. Iran accused the United States of failing to ensure that Israel\u2019s military operations in Lebanon cease, even though the temporary agreement calls for a halt to hostilities on all fronts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed again, while President Donald Trump reiterated his warnings of new U.S. attacks if Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon continue their attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agreement on Continuing Negotiations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mediators, Qatar and Pakistan, described the talks as having taken place in a \u201dpositive and constructive atmosphere\u201d and reported \u201dencouraging progress.\u201d The parties agreed on a roadmap to reach a final agreement within 60 days, as well as on several practical mechanisms to reduce the risk of new incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other things, a special communication channel will be established regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, a so-called \u201dde-confliction cell\u201d will be set up to monitor compliance with the agreement to cease military operations in Lebanon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most sensitive issues, including Iran's nuclear program and future sanctions relief, will, however, be addressed during further technical talks later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lebanon Remains the Biggest Stumbling Block<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the agreements, the situation remains fragile. Israel has continued its operations in Lebanon since the agreement was signed, which, according to several analysts, poses the greatest threat to the entire process. Iran has already postponed previously scheduled negotiations, citing the Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first round of negotiations has thus laid the groundwork for continued dialogue between Washington and Tehran. At the same time, significant differences remain before a permanent agreement can be reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States and Iran have agreed on a roadmap for continued negotiations.
